X FACTOR Anton Stephans Backs Gay Men Blood Campaign
Singer Anton Stephans has given his support to Blood Pact, a campaign that is fighting for the rights of gay men to be able to donate blood.
As the law currently stands in the UK, gay and bisexual men are forbidden to donate blood if they have had sex in the last 12 months with another man. A rule that many argue is discriminatory. Blood Pact calls the 12-month ban on sex “Discouraging, unrealistic and unfair”.
X FACTOR star Anton Stephans has given his support to the campaign calling the ban “archaic & uneducated” and has even starred their promotional video.
The group is calling for supporters to sign a petition on Change.org which has already attracted 9206 signatures at the time of publish.

Bookmaker Is Taking Bets On Which Premier Footballers Will Come Out As Gay
An online bookmaker is now taking bets on which footballers are set to come out as gay.
After last week’s revelations that two high profile footballers are set to come out as gay, a bookie, Wincashlive.com, has started a rather tasteless game, on which customers can bet on which footballers they think will come out as gay before September 2016.
Last week it was announced that two high profile Premier League footballers may be ready to come out as gay before the start of the new season. Any Premier League footballer to come out would be the first to do so, whilst still playing in the game.
Stonewall, Britain’s leading LGBT charity called the game a “boring PR stunt”, but Jake Hook, Editor of TheGayUK branded the game “trivialising” and “bordering on offensive.”
He said,
“In this day and age taking bets and making money out of someone’s difficult decision to come out as gay, especially in the sporting world is bordering on offensive. It trivialises the struggle that many people, especially those men and women in sport face when decided to come out.”
The game, which is set to finish by September 2016, allows punters to choose a name and click on a slider by their name to set the amount they want to play with.
There are 45 footballers listing and include Wayne Rooney and Luke Shaw – who has already responded and denied rumours that he is gay, He took to Twitter to say,
“it’s not me so everyone can shut up now”Any footballer who comes out as gay will join other high-profile out sportsmen including, the US’s Robbie Rogers, Sweden’s Anton Hysén and Germany’s Thomas Hitzlsperger. -

New infections of HIV in gay and bisexual men in 2014 increased by 110 new cases over the 2013 statistics. In total 3360 gay and bisexual men were diagnosed with HIV during the 2014 period. Despite being a small minority in the UK’s population gay and bisexual men account for 54% of new HIV diagnoses.

In the period of 2012-2013 new HIV infections increased. The rise of HIV in the gay community has risen from 2450 in 2004 to 3360 in 2014. The National AIDS Trust estimates that there are nearly 110,000 people living with HIV in the UK and around 26,000 living with undiagnosed HIV.
For the 150th issue of FS Magazine, the magazine published by sexual health charity GMFA, a survey found that around a third of gay men did not use a condom the last time they had penetrative sex.
Seventy-one per cent of gay men said they would use PrEP immediately if it were available on the NHS. PrEP is a medicine when taken daily is extremely effective in stopping the transmission of the HIV virus.

ISIS Stone Two “Gay” Men To Death On Tarpaulin
Pictures have emerged of two men, their hands bound behind their backs, rocks surrounding their bloody, lifeless bodies. Their crime? Accused of being gay by the so-called Islamic State.
Warning report contains distressing images.
Pictures of the lifeless, bloodied bodies of two men, accused by ISIS fighters of being gay have emerged on social media. The two men were executed by stoning, with their hands bound behind their backs and blindfolded, on top of a tarpaulin in Aleppo, the largest city in Syria.
Violence against gay men or those accused of being gay, by the Islamic state has increased in 2015, with well attended public executions usually concluding with the victims being thrown off the tallest buildings in the area. If the victims survive the surrounding crowds often stone them to death.

Islam’s legal system, derived from the Koran
Informs every aspect of Muslims’ lives
